The more you read about the New England fisheries, the more fascinating their histo-
ry becomes. Unfortunately, the few substantial reference works available are mostly
out of print, and one must either spend large sums at rare-book shops, or ransack li-
braries to get at them. The easier volumes to find are those by Church, Chapelle, and
Story – all excellent reading. Goode’s
The Fisheries and Fishery Industries of the United
States
is the great work on fishing methods as practiced in the 19th century. It is now
quite rare, but well worth the trouble to locate. Chapelle’s book,
The American Fishing
Schooner
, is certain to become the standard reference on fishing schooners, their de-
sign, and construction. The beginner would do well to consult Campbell’s
The Neo-
phyte Shipmodeller’s Jackstay
and its excellent references. These and other books are
listed in the bibliography at the end of this manual.
